Any Fool Series #8
Any Fool Can See A Vision
Lourdes - millions of pilgrims, millions of pounds. All because one girl saw a vision.
Why not a vision in Moorecombe? The village hall fund need a boost.
Madonnas may work for the French or the Irish, but not in secular England. The Reverend Alworthy provides the answer. The Prime Minister must appear in the parish church, preferably in good time for the August Bank Holiday. The habitués of the Hunted Hind, sensing considerably profits, jump at the idea.
Jimmy's a bit old, but he is the right size. In a dim light, with a bit of padding, a mask, a wig and a tape recorded fanfare, the vision appears before a few carefully selected witnesses.
It is the silly season. Wapping takes notes. So does News at Ten. Strange pilgrims- National Front, Militant, MP's, Tory voters throng the narrow streets of the village. Moorecombe is on the map. just as long as the conspirators can maintain secrecy
